About the project

AIM of the project is to establish an integrated primary school in Vukovar.
   
 
 
PHASES of the project:
 
In the first phase (2004 – 2006) teachers and parents were involved in the project. Together with them we identified needs of the children and their parents (the research was conducted on a sample of 256 families of all nationalities in Vukovar, who have children attending primary schools. This sample included 14,6% of all parents of primary school children in Vukovar ); developed action plan and then jointly worked on raising public awareness in the community; and with expert help (pedagogues, psychologist, Teacher Training Agency) developed General Curriculum of The New School, as the possible model which is alternative to the existing segregating models.

In the second phase, once The New School General Curriculum was developed, representatives of local structures and institutions responsible for primary education joined the project. Working group was formed; consisting of representatives of: City of Vukovar, County of Vukovarsko-Srijemska, Education and Teacher Training Agency, Coordination of Minority councils, Parents’ Club, teachers, expert associates and NDC Osijek coordinators).
 
Working group adopted a list of recommendations dealing with steps in realisation of further activities in the framework of The New School Project (October 2006.).

The third phase (which is underway) is the establishment of the school – it includes the realisation of steps adopted by The Working Group: obtaining all of the formal approvals (from: City of Vukovar, Vukovarsko-Srijemska County and Ministry of Education); securing all of the needed preconditions (premises, finances); further work on making the Vukovar community aware of the need for such a school; formal establishment of The New School.

The fourth phase is the beginning of the work of the school.
